  • the concentration of the concentrated water in the concentrating chambers 15 is the lowest at the side of outlets for discharging the product water to decrease influences of concentration diffusion on the desalting chambers 16 ; thus, a rate of removal of ions such as boron is greatly improved.
  • the concentrating chambers are also filled with a conductive material such as an ion exchanger. Therefore, it is unnecessary to decrease the electrical resistance by adding an electrolyte such as sodium chloride to the concentrated water.

  • Oxidizing agents such as chlorine and ozone are generated in the electrode chambers, in particular, in the anode chamber. Therefore, activated carbon is better than ion-exchange resin as the filler on a long-term base. It is desirable to supply the product water containing substantially no Cl ⁇ to the electrode chambers as shown in FIG. 1 in order to avoid occurrence of chlorine and to stabilize the filler and the electrodes.

Since the second electrodeionization apparatus 2 removes alkaline materials that are leaked from the first electrodeionization apparatus 1 of the previous stage, the treated water having a high quality can be obtained.
  • boron concentrations in the concentrating chambers disposed at the sides of outlets of the desalting chambers are decreased by supplying product water to the concentrating chambers.
  • Boron-removed water may be supplied to the concentrating chambers, instead of the product water or in combination with the product water.
  • Boron can be removed by either a method using ion-exchange resin or boron-adsorbing resin or a method using a reverse osmosis membrane.
  • the electrodeionization apparatus and the method for operating the same according to the first and second aspects can surely produce product water having an extremely low concentration of boron.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrodeionization apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention.
  • the electrodeionization apparatus 10 is formed by alternately arranging a plurality of anion-exchange membranes (A-membrane) 13 and cation-exchange membranes (C-membrane) 14 between electrodes (anode 11 and cathode 12 ) so that concentrating chambers 15 and desalting chambers 16 are alternately arranged.
  • the desalting chambers 16 are filled with a mixture or layers of an anion exchanger and a cation exchanger, such as ion-exchange resin, ion-exchange fibers, and graft exchanger.
  • the concentrating chambers 15 , an anode chamber 17 , and a cathode chamber 18 are also filled with an electrically conductive material such as an ion exchanger, activated carbon, or metal.
  • Water to be treated is introduced into the desalting chambers 16 , and product water is discharged from the desalting chambers 16 .
  • a part of the water to be treated is sent to an anion-removing means 9 , and anions in the water are removed.

  • the concentrating chambers 15 and the desalting chambers 16 are alternately arranged in parallel to each other.
  • Inlets of the concentrating chambers 15 are provided at a side of outlets for discharging product water from the desalting chambers 16 , and outlets of the concentrating chambers 15 are provided at a side of inlets for introducing raw water into the desalting chambers 16 . Therefore, concentrated water is introduced into the concentrating chambers 15 from the side of the outlets of the desalting chambers (the under side in FIG. 8 ) and is discharged from the side of the inlets of the desalting chambers (the upper side in FIG. 8 ).
  • a part of the water discharged from the anion-removing means 9 is supplied to an inlet of the anode chamber 17 .

  • the concentration of the concentrated water in the concentrating chambers 15 is the lowest at the side for discharging the product water.
  • influences of concentration diffusion on the desalting chambers 16 are decreased.
  • rates of removal of weak anions, such as carbonate, silica, and boron, in addition to strong anions can be greatly improved.
  • the concentrating chamber is filled with a conductive material such as an ion exchanger. Therefore, it is unnecessary to decrease the electrical resistance of the concentrated water by adding an electrolyte such as sodium chloride.
  • the electrode chambers 17 and 18 are also filled with an ion exchanger, activated carbon, or electrically conductive metal in order to ensure desired current. This makes it possible to ensure current necessary for introducing water with high quality, such as ultrapure deionized water.

Therefore, activated carbon is better than ion-exchange resin as the filler on a long-term basis. It is desirable to supply the product water to the electrode chambers as shown in FIG. 8 . Since the product water scarcely contains Cl ⁇ , no chlorine is generated and the filler and the electrodes are stable over a long period of time.

  • the water introduced into the concentrating chamber 15 is then drained as concentrated waste water.
  • the direction of the water flow in the concentrating chamber is opposite (counter) to that in the desalting chambers 16 .
  • the total inorganic carbonate concentration is controlled to 50 ppb or less, preferably, to 30 ppb or less. As a result, the total inorganic carbonate concentration in the product water is extremely decreased. Furthermore, with the anion-removing means 9 , silica concentration is controlled to 100 ppb or less, preferably, to 80 ppb or less, and boron concentration is controlled to 10 ppb or less, preferably, to 8 ppb or less. As a result, the silica concentration and the boron concentration in the product water are extremely decreased.

  • degassing means such as a degassing membrane, a decarbonation column, or a vacuum degassing column.
  • a degassing-membrane unit for performing a vacuum suction for example, 20 Torr or more

  • FIG. 10 shows an example of a channel when an electrodeionization unit 8 is used as the anion-removing means 9 .
  • the electrodeionization unit 8 is formed by arranging an anion membrane 8 a and a cation membrane 8 c between an anode and a cathode so that a desalting chamber 8 D and concentrating chambers 8 A and 8 B are formed. Water to be treated is introduced into chambers 8 A, 8 B, and 8 D to flow parallel to each other. Desalted water from the desalting chamber 8 D and concentrated water from the concentrating chamber 8 B are supplied to the concentrating water 15 of the electrodeionization apparatus 10 at a side of an outlet of the desalting chamber, and are then discharged from a side of an inlet of the desalting chamber.

  • Adsorptive removal of organic components by activated carbon and ionization of chlorine are also preferable.
  • a degassing means (in particular, a membrane degassing unit) is most preferably used as a means for removing anions.
  • a part of the degassed water is preferably recirculated from the inlet of the degassing unit so that the efficiency of removing carbonate is increased.
  • the efficiency of removing carbonate is desirably increased by controlling the introduced water to be acidic, preferably, to have a pH of 4 to 6, more preferably, a pH of 4 to 5.
